# OVHcloud CLI (`ovhcloud`) Documentation
## ovhcloud

---
CLI to manage your OVHcloud services

## Overview
### Options

`ovhcloud` is a single, unified command‑line interface for managing the full range of OVHcloud products and account resources directly from your terminal. Whether you need to automate provisioning, perform quick look‑ups, or integrate OVHcloud operations into CI/CD pipelines, `ovhcloud` offers fine‑grained commands and consistent output formats (table, JSON, YAML, or custom gval expressions).

---

## Quick Start

```bash
# Display the top‑level help
ovhcloud --help

# Log in and create API credentials (interactive)
ovhcloud login

# List your VPS instances as JSON
ohvcloud vps list -o json
```

Check out the [authentication page](authentication.md) for further information about the authentication means.

You can manage multiple OVHcloud accounts using [profiles](profiles.md). Create a profile with `ovhcloud login --profile <name>`, switch between them with `ovhcloud config profile switch <name>`, or use `--profile <name>` on any command.

### Generate Shell Completion

```bash
# Bash
eval "$(./ovhcloud completion bash)"
# Zsh
eval "$(./ovhcloud completion zsh)"
# Fish
./ovhcloud completion fish | source
# PowerShell
./ovhcloud completion powershell | Out-String | Invoke-Expression
```

Add the appropriate line to your shell’s startup file (`~/.bashrc`, `~/.zshrc`, etc.) to enable persistent autocompletion.

---

## Global Usage

```text
ovhcloud [command] [flags]
-d, --debug Activate debug mode (will log all HTTP requests details)
-h, --help help for ovhcloud
-e, --ignore-errors Ignore errors in API calls when it is not fatal to the execution
-o, --output string Output format: json, yaml, interactive, or a custom format expression (using https://github.com/PaesslerAG/gval syntax)
Examples:
--output json
--output yaml
--output interactive
--output 'id' (to extract a single field)
--output 'nested.field.subfield' (to extract a nested field)
--output '[id, "name"]' (to extract multiple fields as an array)
--output '{"newKey": oldKey, "otherKey": nested.field}' (to extract and rename fields in an object)
--output 'name+","+type' (to extract and concatenate fields in a string)
--output '(nbFieldA + nbFieldB) * 10' (to compute values from numeric fields)
--profile string Use a specific profile from the configuration file
```

### Global Flags

| Flag | Description |
| ------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| `--debug` | Activate debug mode (logs all HTTP‑request details). |
| `--ignore-errors` | Ignore errors of API calls made when listing items. |
| `--filter <expr>` | Filter lists output with a [gval] expression. |
| `-h`, `--help` | Display help for `ovhcloud` or a specific command. |
| `-o interactive` | Produce interactive (prompt‑based) output. |
| `-o json` | Output data in JSON format. |
| `-o yaml` | Output data in YAML format. |
| `-o <expr>` | Format output with a [gval] expression. |

[gval]: https://github.com/PaesslerAG/gval

#### Filtering examples

- Strict string equality: `--filter 'name=="something"'`
- String regexp comparison: `--filter 'name=~"something"'`
- Number comparison: `--filter 'bootId > 1'`

#### Formatting example

- Extract only one field: `-o 'ip'`
- Extract an object: `-o '{name: ip}'`

| Reinstall a baremetal interactively | `ovhcloud baremetal reinstall <id> --editor` |

---

## Troubleshooting

* **Verbose output** — Use `--debug` to inspect raw API calls and responses.
* **Authentication issues** — Run `ovhcloud login` again to regenerate valid API keys.
* **Rate limits** — OVHcloud APIs impose rate limits; plan retries or exponential backoff in scripts.

## ovhcloud baremetal doctor

Report what is wrong with a server, or with every server

### Synopsis

Check the things that silently break a dedicated server: a machine left on the
rescue system, monitoring switched off, hardware intervention refused, a renewal
that will not happen, work still running, maintenance already planned.

With no argument it checks every server of the account.

The exit code stays 0 when findings are reported, because the command ran and
answered. Use --strict to make findings fail the command instead, which is what
a pipeline gating on it wants.

--strict fails on a warning or a critical. A note never fails it: every server
renewing inside the next 30 days reports one, so a --strict that counted notes
would be red permanently, and a gate that is always red is read like no gate.
Narrowing with --filter narrows the gate too — 'severity=="critical"' fails only
on criticals.

```
ovhcloud baremetal doctor [service_name...] [flags]
```

### Options

```
--expiry-days int Report a server expiring within this many days (default 30)
--filter stringArray Filter results by any property using https://github.com/PaesslerAG/gval syntax
Examples:
--filter 'state=="running"'
--filter 'name=~"^my.*"'
--filter 'nested.property.subproperty>10'
--filter 'startDate>="2023-12-01"'
--filter 'name=~"something" && nbField>10'
-h, --help help for doctor
--strict Exit non-zero when a warning or a critical is reported (notes never fail it)
```

### Options inherited from parent commands

```
-d, --debug Activate debug mode (will log all HTTP requests details)
-e, --ignore-errors Ignore errors in API calls when it is not fatal to the execution
-o, --output string Output format: json, yaml, interactive, or a custom format expression (using https://github.com/PaesslerAG/gval syntax)
Examples:
--output json
--output yaml
--output interactive
--output 'id' (to extract a single field)
--output 'nested.field.subfield' (to extract a nested field)
--output '[id, "name"]' (to extract multiple fields as an array)
--output '{"newKey": oldKey, "otherKey": nested.field}' (to extract and rename fields in an object)
--output 'name+","+type' (to extract and concatenate fields in a string)
--output '(nbFieldA + nbFieldB) * 10' (to compute values from numeric fields)
